San Diego House Movers

A whole house is a different job than a one-bedroom: bigger crew, bigger truck, and a plan for every room from the garage to the patio. Gorilla Movers has moved San Diego households since 2008, more than 25,120 moves and counting.

House moving crews that know San Diego

San Diego houses come with San Diego problems: steep hillside driveways in Mt. Helix, narrow canyon streets in Kensington and Talmadge, three-story townhomes in Carmel Valley with the garage on the bottom level. Our crews work these layouts every week, so they arrive with the right dollies, ramps, and pad inventory instead of improvising in your driveway.

Every crew member is a background-checked, uniformed Gorilla Movers employee. We never staff jobs with day labor, which matters most on house moves, where the crew spends a full day in every room of your home. On move day you get a live-tracking text so you know exactly when the truck will arrive.

What a full-home move includes

Disassembly and reassembly of beds, dining tables, desks, and anything else that will not travel in one piece
Pad wrapping on every furniture item before it leaves the room, plus floor runners and door-frame protection
Washer, dryer, and refrigerator moving with standard hookups (gas disconnects need a licensed plumber)
Garage, patio, and shed items: tool chests, grills, patio sets, bikes, surfboards
Free use of wardrobe boxes on local moves, so closets travel on hangers
A certificate of insurance for any HOA or gated community that requires one, at no charge

What house movers cost in San Diego

House moves are quoted hourly, and the honest answer is that your total depends on three things: how much you own, how good the access is at both homes, and whether everything is boxed before the crew arrives. The ranges below reflect what most Gorilla Movers customers actually pay on local house moves.

Fuel is charged and itemized up front on every quote, so nothing new appears on the final bill. If you want a locked number instead of an hourly estimate, binding quotes are locked in with a free on-site survey.

How to make move day faster

Finish packing before the crew arrives; an hourly crew waiting on boxes is the most expensive way to pack
Label every box by destination room so unloading happens in one pass
Clear the driveway and hold street parking as close to the door as you can
Disconnect TVs, computers, and lamps the night before
Keep documents, medications, jewelry, and chargers in a bag that rides with you

FAQ

House Movers questions, answered.

How long does it take to move a 3-bedroom house in San Diego?
Most 3-bedroom house moves run 7 to 9 hours driveway to driveway with a three or four person crew. Long carries, multiple flights of stairs, or packing that is not finished can push past that, which is why we ask detailed questions before we quote.
Do your movers disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Beds, cribs, dining tables, desks, and sectionals are taken apart at the old house and rebuilt at the new one. Crews carry their own tools, and hardware travels in labeled bags taped to the furniture it belongs to.
Can you move my washer, dryer, and refrigerator?
Yes, with standard water and electric hookups included. Gas dryer disconnects and reconnects need a licensed plumber for safety, so schedule that before move day. Refrigerators should be emptied and, ideally, defrosted the night before.
Can I get a price that will not change?
Yes. Binding quotes are locked in with a free on-site survey, where we walk the home and count everything ourselves. Phone and online quotes are hourly estimates based on the inventory you describe, so the final total follows the actual hours worked.
Do I need to empty my dressers?
Light clothing can usually stay in sturdy dressers. Empty anything fragile, heavy, or liquid, and clear the drawers of particleboard furniture, which cannot take the load. The crew lead makes the final call piece by piece so nothing gets damaged in the carry.
How far ahead should I book a house move?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most dates. End-of-month weekends and summer Saturdays book out first, so grab those earlier. If escrow just closed and you need a crew this week, call 619-600-5000 and we will tell you honestly what is open.
How much does it cost to move a 3-bedroom house in San Diego?
Local house moves are billed hourly by crew size, so the total depends on how much you have, how far the carry and stairs are, and how much packing you want us to do. A typical three-bedroom local move runs a full day with a larger crew. We quote it itemized after a quick walk-through or video survey and can cap it as a Not-to-Exceed price, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Call 619-600-5000 for a real quote instead of a guess.
Do you provide boxes and packing supplies, or should I buy my own?
Either works. We sell professional-grade boxes and materials and can drop them off ahead of your move, or we can bring everything and pack for you. If you would rather pack yourself, that is fine too, and we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth handing to us (kitchens and fragiles) and which are easy to do on your own.

Gorilla movers did a fantastic job moving my mother in Oceanside. Raul was incredible. From the moment he arrived, he was very strategic in how he would complete the job. I had doubts with all of the stuff we had but trusted his knowledge and experience and he exceeded our expectations! They take care of your items, asked a lot of questions and consistently checked in on if there was anything else they could help with. Raul, not sure if we could have done this move without you!! Thank you so much and than you Gorilla movers!! -Jackie, Marty, and Liz

I recently moved from downtown San Diego to Rancho Bernardo with Gorilla Movers, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The team arrived on time, came fully prepared, and handled everything with a high level of professionalism. Moving out of downtown can be tricky with traffic and building restrictions, but they managed everything smoothly without any issues. They were very careful with my furniture, wrapping and protecting everything properly, and nothing was damaged during the move. What I appreciated most was their efficiency. They worked quickly but never rushed or cut corners. Communication was clear the entire time, and the pricing was fair with no surprises. Overall, it was a stress free move, and I would definitely recommend Gorilla Movers to anyone looking for a reliable and professional team.

I had an amazing experience with Gorilla Movers! Christian and his crew were absolutely incredible from start to finish. They showed up on time, were extremely professional, and handled everything with so much care and efficiency. Moving can be stressful, but they made the whole process feel smooth and easy. They worked quickly without ever being careless, and you could tell they really knew what they were doing. They took great care of our furniture and belongings, making sure everything was protected and moved safely. Christian was especially great at communicating and keeping everything organized, and his crew worked so well together—it was honestly impressive to watch. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly where we wanted it. I highly recommend Gorilla Movers, especially Christian and his team. If you’re looking for reliable, hardworking, and professional movers, these are the people to call!

What took me at least 8 hours of painstaking work took them less than 2. Makes me wish I used them for the loading AND unloading. Raul and Hazael were so quick and nice and communicative throughout the entire process. Makes things easier on yourself by using them if you need to move at all. It’s well worth it.

I cannot stress enough the quality of their service, expertise, and responsiveness. Gorilla Movers made the task of relocating my call center operation within the San Diego area far easier than I anticipated. They exceeded my expectations throughout the entire process and will be the first company I call for any future moving needs.
